Anything Goes

Rickards: How Does This End Well?

Russia is winning the war. The West can’t afford to give Ukraine much more weaponry, and support for the war effort is declining...

Authored by James Rickards: It looks like the much-anticipated Ukrainian spring offensive may finally be getting underway. Yesterday, Russia repelled Ukrainian attacks in five places.

It’s very early — these were likely probing attacks looking to detect weak points in Russian defensive positions — but these attacks were much heavier than previous probing attacks.

We’ll have to see what happens.

When the main offensive comes, it’s very possible that Ukrainian forces will break through in certain areas. They might capture some territory (with plenty of U.S./NATO-supplied reconnaissance and intelligence to assist them), but it’s unlikely that their gains will be sustainable.

The offensive will probably peter out as Russian forces gradually grind it down.

Russia has several defensive lines in the region, fortified by minefields, anti-tank ditches, concrete obstacles known as dragon’s teeth, etc. These are formidable defenses that Russia has spent several months creating.

NATO And U.S. Blame Russia For Dam Attack, Putin Just Responded

Redacted: A major dam in the Kherson region exploded on Tuesday. The media is acting like it's a great whodunit mystery but we know whodunit. This is Russian territory and Ukraine practices blowing this dam last year. Is this the counteroffensive or an act of desperation?

Andreesen: Why AI Will Save The World

The era of Artificial Intelligence is here, and boy are people freaking out...

Authored by Marc Andreesen: Fortunately, I am here to bring the good news: AI will not destroy the world, and in fact may save it.

First, a short description of what AI is: The application of mathematics and software code to teach computers how to understand, synthesize, and generate knowledge in ways similar to how people do it. AI is a computer program like any other – it runs, takes input, processes, and generates output. AI’s output is useful across a wide range of fields, ranging from coding to medicine to law to the creative arts. It is owned by people and controlled by people, like any other technology.

A shorter description of what AI isn’t: Killer software and robots that will spring to life and decide to murder the human race or otherwise ruin everything, like you see in the movies.

An even shorter description of what AI could be: A way to make everything we care about better.

Why AI Can Make Everything We Care About Better

The most validated core conclusion of social science across many decades and thousands of studies is that human intelligence makes a very broad range of life outcomes better.

Tucker's Back! Demolishes Ukraine Dam Propaganda & MSM For Ignoring UFO 'Bombshell Of The Millennium'

"You've got to be lied to over a period of years to reach conclusions like that...and of course, we have been..."

By Tyler Durden: Tucker Carlson unveiled Episode 1 of his 'Tucker on Twitter' adventure  - which gained 10 million views in just over two hours - and the topic du jour is simple; government propaganda and the lying liars that spew it.

His jumping off point is the bombing of the Kakhova dam... by Putin himself, if you believe the western media because 'he is evil and evil people do evil things... even to themselves' (despite the detailed explanation below of why that is simply farcical).

By way of background, and helping explain why it absolutely, positively, without doubt must have been Putin that blew up the dam </sarc> Antiwar.com's Kyle Anzalone notes that the dam was built by the USSR during the 1950s and, for over a year, has sat on the frontlines of the war in Ukraine. It is nearly 100 feet tall and over 10,000 feet wide. The dam was constructed as a hydroelectric power plant and created the Kakhovka Reservoir, which is over 2,000 sq km. Europe’s largest nuclear power plant – the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) and the Crimean Peninsula receive water from the reservoir.

Journalists Are Asking Ukrainian Soldiers To Hide Their Nazi Patches, NYT Admits

Ukrainian soldiers constantly use Nazi symbols, NY Times very belatedly points out...

By Tyler Durden: The New York Times has been forced to very, very belatedly deal with something which had long been obvious and known to many independent analysts and media outlets, but which has been carefully shielded from the mainstream masses in the West for obvious reasons. 

The surprising Monday Times headline said that "Nazi Symbols on Ukraine’s Front Lines Highlight Thorny Issues of History." This acknowledgement comes after literally years of primarily indy journalists and geopolitical commentators pointing out that yes indeed... Ukraine's military and paramilitary groups, especially those operating in the east since at least 2014, have a serious Nazi ideology problem. This has been exhaustively documented, again, going back years. But the report, which merely tries to downplay it as a "thorny issue" of Ukraine's "unique" "History" - suggests that the real problem for Western PR is fundamentally that it's being displayed so openly. Ukrainian troops are being asked to cover those Nazi symbols please!--as Matt Taibbi sarcastically quipped in commenting on the report.
